Eden said Hawkes was spotted around 3 a.m. driving a stolen Ford F-150. When the officer looked down to run her plates, he lost track of the truck. The truck was found abandoned a short time later with Hawkes' personal belongings inside.

Officers spotted Hawkes near an area trailer park. At that point, Eden said police set up a perimeter to try and catch her.

Dear confronted Hawkes near the edge of the perimeter. Eden said Dear chased her a short distance, she pulled a .32-caliber semi-automatic pistol on him and he shot and killed her. Police did not say whether Hawkes' gun was loaded.

Police did not say where she was hit, if she was facing police or if she was turned away from police when she was shot, either.

Eden said no lapel footage was recovered from Dear. The video has been sent to manufacturer for technical and forensic analysis. It's unclear why there was no video at this time.

“We have received many questions concerning Officer Dear’s lack of lapel camera video relating to this officer involved shooting. It is critical to complete the manufacturer’s analysis of Officer Dear’s lapel camera system to determine whether or not the device was functioning properly. If it is determined that there was any violation of policy, the officer involved will be held accountable," Eden said in a statement following the news conference.

Eden doesn't know how long it will take for the manufacturer to analyze Dear's camera.

APD policy requires officers to turn on their cameras when making contact with the public. Not doing so could land an officer in trouble with a letter of reprimand or suspension.

"We know that the technology is not 100 percent foolproof," said Eden.

Eden also said there were other officers in the area who had cameras on, but he doesn't know if they were close enough to see the shooting.

A gun was found near Hawkes' body.

"The gun that was located next to the body of the suspect is a handgun very similar to this handgun right here," said Eden.
